I DID IT !!!! WOW

I did it all by myself!!!! Wow look at me!!! Ok so it might be that big a deal to you, but for me its way cool!!!! I DID IT! I made a link to my New NDR2, It's just a beginning, but is a start.

Ok, a computer guy I'm not!!!!

I'm sure it's very easy to add a link to this blog to show you that i have started a new blog. However I have no idea how to set it up. Since most of you are at railfest and I'm here wishing I was, you know I'll have to wait till Scott gets home to tell me how to do this stuff.
My new Blog is called NDR2 ..................someday there will be alink or something else to get you there from here.

HUMMMMM................

I wonder could this mess be rearranged to make enough space for a small yard (old one) and maybe two industries to operate. Hummmmm.....

Evening #3 of the tear down.

Well you can see the duct work for the furnace, which means more of the layout is going fast.














The land in the fore ground is where the bridge joined the rest of the world, the world is now gone.

The Bridge is gone....

Well the bridge is no longer. Actually the bridge is safe but the scene is gone. Another 16 feet of the NDR is gone. The fascia will be the last part to go, the lighting is good to work with.












The clean up is getting done as I go, but there will be the final cleaning when all is done.

Where once there was an Island

Where once there was an Island......well you would never know it now. The two pipes for the oil tank and the gauge were part of Mousehead Breweries. The freezer was under What's it Called. Now to dismantle yard and move it to Ken MacQuarrie's for storage with the rest of the UMG stuff. The yard might in the Railfest this year, or possible the show in Truro. BAck to work on the tearing down...........got some new ideas for the next Never Done Railway..........really going to need an apt with a basement!!

Time for track to go...............

Well it's time to remove some track tomorrow, going to save all I can. Some of my track has been on all of my past layouts. So some of it is 15 years old and pulled up more than once! It still works fine as long as your careful pulling it up. I have used a lot of different track as well and it all seems to work fine for me. Not very often does a derail happens due to the track. Most of the time its the installers problem not the track. I have my share of derailment issues same as most I guess, but I can't say too often it was because the track was out of gauge. Most of the time it was because i was trying to turn to sharp or not checking it for flatness.
I think in my module this fall I will try and do some extra good track work and see if i can make it look and work like new. Well I want it to appear old of course. I will be posting shot of the module once I decide on what I want to make.

Where to start............

Well I guess it's started, the bridge was the first to be removed. It will be saved of course and reused on the next NDR. I decided to take some shots of the tearing it a part. And the packing up. Seems a little strange taking pictures as I packed things up. There is a lot of work to be done.
So far today is day one and I have spent 4 hours to get just the bench work and track to be the only remaining things to do. This is going to take some time!

HUMMM..........something seems missing.

Only the rails to save now and then the tear down of the bench work begins.

Where once there was a city......

Details

I packed all the details parts for my module., in an old parts container that was being thrown out from my work. Great way to keep it all together.

UMG gets packed.

I packed the buildings and detail parts for my UMG module separately a great idea so i can find those pieces when i need them for shows.

Car Packing.

I moved all the cars to one central spot and checked them off on my list.

The Engines.

Packed away till they have new work on another railway. I kept my four engines out that i enjoy the most for operating during rail fest and the fall show.
